Answer:
24
Explanation:
in this, the blank is 'y'. I filled the x with -8
)(−8)−(−8−40)=(2)(−8)−(y−8)
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
(10)(−8)−(−8−40)=(2)(−8)−(y−8)
(10)(−8)+−1(−8−40)=(2)(−8)+−1(y−8)(Distribute the Negative Sign)
(10)(−8)+(−1)(−8)+(−1)(−40)=(2)(−8)+−1y+(−1)(−8)
(10)(−8)+8+40=(2)(−8)+−y+8
−80+8+40=−16+−y+8
(−80+8+40)=(−y)+(−16+8)(Combine Like Terms)
−32=−y+−8
−32=−y−8
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−y−8=−32
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
−y−8+8=−32+8
−y=−24
Step 4: Divide both sides by -1.
−y
−1
=
−24
−1
y=24
Answer:
y=24
